His passing is a great loss to the Nigerian Orthopaedic Association and the wider health community. Yet, even in grief, we are reminded that those who serve with sincerity are elevated—not only in the eyes of their peers but in the unseen realms where every act of care is recorded.
As we mourn his departure, we pray that the Almighty Allah, in His boundless mercy, grants him Jannatul Firdous. May his family, colleagues, and all who knew him find solace in the remembrance of Allah and in the lasting legacy of kindness he leaves behind.
Please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences.”
